Hill is a historic neighborhood adjacent to Downtown New Haven and Yale University. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Hill features a wide range of apartments and condos for rent that reflects its history dating back to the 1800s. There are rentals available for every budget, but Hill is known for its relatively lower rates. The neighborhood also maintains its quaint charm with several mom-and-pop restaurants scattered around the area. Along with being near Yale University, Hill is home to several parks and medical facilities including Yale New Haven Hospital Emergency Room and Yale School of Medicine. Hill is also convenient to the University of New Haven and Yale’s western campus. Hill is within walking distance of downtown, but the bus system will also take you into the heart of the city and other hotspots.

It's not the worse but it's not the best either. I don't really care about the neighborhood i live in though.

The weather is fair all year round. Cold and windy during winters due to Long Island Sound, and hot, moist summers.

There are a lot of factories and universities. Also, Sokorsky and other big industries are here in Connecticut.
